About Marcel
His practice places particular emphasis on supporting people dealing with process and substance addictions, chronic health conditions, and complex interpersonal dynamics. Marcel works with clients to address communication problems, codependency, guilt and shame, and commitment or control issues, helping them build clearer patterns of relating and healthier boundaries in family and romantic relationships.
Using collaborative, strengths-focused work, Marcel helps clients increase self-awareness, develop coping skills, and translate insight into sustainable change. He blends therapeutic approaches to meet each person where they are, aiming to empower clients to reconnect with their strengths and pursue more fulfilling personal and relational lives.
How Marcel’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Marcel uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, chronic health concerns, and situations where motivation and long-term commitment matter. He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and substance use. Client-Centered Therapy is another core influence, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and a non-judgmental stance that supports growth through a strong therapeutic relationship.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work Marcel does with each person. He collaborates with clients to match methods to individual goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions allow Marcel to offer flexible care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to continue care when in-person visits are difficult. These options aim to increase access and maintain continuity of support while preserving the therapeutic focus and collaborative nature of treatment.
